Self Portaiture...

Ah the horror of me. Well, here we have what i call "quick bathroom portraiture". It's called that because the pictures are taken in the bathroom infront of the shower curtain, which seems to serve as a fantastic backdrop. I can't call either of these very artsy...they really aren't. However, i like myself (as do most people) and enjoy taking pictures of my scary androgenous mug.Now, a question; Would you be able to guess my gender by this picture alone? I wouldn't be able to either if you answered no to that. Sad but true, from certain angles i change gender. I popped out of the womb female and am apparently still female, however, pictures like this make people wonder. My sister once mistook a picture of me for one of my boyfriend. Yes, very sad. Then when i told her it was a picture of me, she laughed. There are those out there that try real hard to be androgynous looking and then there are people like me who have that natural ability. It sucks at times. My boyfriend and i were called Jay and Silent Bob once when we were walking down the street at night. Someone yelled out of their car "JAY AND SILENT BOB!!!!". That was a funny and very sad moment, he's not fat and i'm not a dude. Then there's times it comes in handy i suppose, when walking late at night you're less likely to be attacked because people think you're a strange little dude. But for the most part, it's just weird.
